I don't know how they haven't picked up on this netcode issue until it was mentioned by the beta testers. Do they even play this game? Now they have to try and fix this complex issue before release, I'm not holding my breath.

Has there even been a confirmed, actual problem? outside of some crazyness here and there it's seemed alright for me so far.

I have far more problems with bullets hitting terrain that does not appear to be there rather than dodgy netcode. (That is shooting from cover of a pillar with tiles smashed off the side appears to be clear line of sight but actually is not)
 
It's been recognised in a big thread titled 'The netcode and why I will not be able to buy BF3' over on battlelog forums.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to stop in to let you know that we are -absolutely- watching the entirety of this thread and that I am working to get you answers.

Will report back ASAP - please lend me your patience as this issue is more complicated than most.

To that end, I appreciate everyone who has <signed>, but now that you have our attention it's becoming less than constructive and making it more difficult to parse more thorough feedback. Sign if you must, though.

Thanks!

Bugged/Invisible players - 12 times.
Delayed reg hits by using hard cover - 16 times.
People who I hit multiple times with hit markers, but never got hurt - 7 times.
People who I couldn't even get hit reg markers, even when I sneak up point blank and unload to mags - 5 times.
C4 Killing me through a wall(indestructable too) I previously used on - 1 time.
Randomly dying and killing myself - 1 time.
Unknown death, no name, no kill cam - 1 Time

That's 43 deaths attributed to whole lot of bull crap in 4 hours, I'm generally top 3 player on a server unless I'm specifically doing spotting for a team, trying to arm with EOD Bot/Testing new weapons yadda yadda but gauge that many deaths over the 37 hours I did play?

please post your feedback on the bf3 beta forums so your feedback is useful.

heard that as of today the game still hasnt gone gold - which means its going to be one buggy pos on release....thanks DICE>

In the age of digital distribution going gold in relation to release date bugs is meaningless -- if you buy the boxed version of this you will be downloading patches before you play it.

Also -- it's usually 2 weeks before release games go gold, not 3 -- they have a date this thing has to be on the shelves by so it will go gold in time to ship it to the four corners.

Love the game, but getting rather bored of the Beta now.

And to the people regarding people not dying, there is an attachment called Covr that reduces damage on impact by bullets, same goes for explosives as well if you use the explosives protection attachment. The UMP-45 with that combo is unreal, unlocked it this morning before work, and was on 23/12, 3300+ points and the top player on the server till i had to leave to get ready for work, really wanted to stay and finish the round, as my attacking team were doing a fab job.

Edit: Sporting the RPG a lot as well. Flashlight? RPG to the face.

I thought COVR just reduced the suppression effect of being fired at, are you sure it reduces damage as well?
 
Yeah going gold these days is pretty meaningless, its patched as soon as you install it or in the case of Fifa 12 its downloaded again and ignores the disc anyway
 
If they are struggling they should just delay the game and release a sound product. But I guess they have to release it before MW3 even if it means releasing a buggy game. I have a feeling its going to take a load a patches, akin to when BF2 was released to get the game up to scratch.
 
Most likely, which was my concern and the reason I cancelled my pre-order. I'd rather wait until it's patched.

Thats all down to EA though. they are the publishers who set deadlines for games.

Fair enough but do you not pay any attention to DICEs words about this being very old code and a lot of the issues people are seeing they knew about before the beta was released and have been fixed already?

Im not having a go, just asking if you genuinely don't believe them?

The perception seems to be that we the public are the only ones to play the Alpha and Beta and do all their testing for them when infact we all know they will have had a testing team playing this and all the maps, campaign and co-op to death
